How would you like to unlock your device with a look? Read on to find out how to customize Face ID. Face ID is the name that Apple has given its biometric facial identity scanner incorporated in the iPhone XR, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. You can use it to secure your apps and unlock your phone. Besides, it allows you to authenticate iTunes, the App Store and Apple Pay transactions. To enjoy this feature, you have to set it up. This chapter will touch on how to set up Face ID on your iPhone XR or XS, how to turn on and off Require Attention and how to reset Face ID on your XS or XR.
How to Set Up Face ID on Your iPhone XR or XS
Setting up Face ID is not very different from setting up Touch ID—but it is easier. When you are doing the initial set up, iOS will offer the option to set up Face ID. However, you can always set it and reset it whenever you want.

How to Turn Off Require Attention for Face ID on Your iPhone XR and XS
You have to look at your iPhone XR or XS before it authenticates. That is how it is set by default. However, it is possible to turn it off, so you can unlock it without looking at it directly; if for some reason this is what you want. This is not very secure, but it will enable you to unlock your device when holding it to one side or even when it is on a table. Note: you will still need to show the Face ID system your mouth, nose, and eyes to be authenticated. So, there are limitations even when you have turned off the authentication.

Apple’s iOS 12 for iPads and iPhones offers many performance enhancements along with new protections for your security and privacy.
iOS 12 Compatibility
iOS 12 is available to for all devices that are supported by iOS 11; that is, all 64-bit iOS devices from 2013 to the latest.
iOS 12 Automatic Updates
Once you enable automatic updates on iOS 12, your device will be updating automatically as soon as a new version is released.
iOS 12 and iPad
Gesture navigation and the status bar layout have been imported from iPhone X. Performance has been improved and even older iPads can now launch faster and work more smoothly. Memos and Apple’s Stocks have also been introduced. iOS 12 aims at making iPad and iPhone more responsive and faster on the current generation of iOS devices as well as older ones. iOS 12 also comes with a new solution for memory. There are a few techniques, one of them being the Automatic Backing Storage which eliminates the problem of apps undermining each other when it comes to memory. The iOS ARKit 2 can track the orientation and position of other devices around them and that includes you. It is able to understand scenes and support irregular surfaces among many other things. ARKit 2.0 allows for photos to come alive through the 3D object detection and has better face tracking. You will also get to enjoy multi-user experiences. This means that you can play your favorite games like LEGO with opponents.
iOS Camera and Photos
Portrait Lighting is now fully developed. With the TrueDepth camera, the background can be clearly separated from the subject. Even better, you can adjust the depth to your preferred level.
Importing photos has been made easier. Photo Search has also been greatly improved—although it is still far from perfect.
iOS 12 Siri & Shortcuts
Apple has made Siri more proactive in the new OS. Using your past behavior, location and time, it can suggest actions for you. Instead of digging through your phone to find an app so you can take an action, Siri will suggest the action to you (just at the time you perform the action). You can also add your own Siri shortcuts.
iOS 12 Apple News
Apple News is awesome and uses advanced technology to bring you the most trustworthy and relevant newsfeed. However, most countries are still limited.
iOS 12 Screen Time
Screen Time helps you manage the amount of time you spend on your device. The Do Not Disturb feature suppresses notifications (except Critical Alert notifications) for as long as you set it to, so your phone will not distract you.
iOS Messages and FaceTime
In addition to Animoji, iOS 12 is giving your Memoji. You can create your own Animoji. FaceTime uses the new AR camera which means that you can use the emoji effects and features.
iOS 12 Privacy and Security
Face ID is now more advanced, and you can try severally before you are asked to use the passcode. Touch ID has been incorporated into the iCloud Keychain AutoFill system.
iOS Accessibility
AirPods now have a Live Listening feature that allows you to stream audio from your iPhone to your AirPod.
